For example, we see the needs for small business ideas to be promoted in the provinces. These small enterprises are mom and pop businesses. They are often owned and operated by women. A few men join them, but the majority of small business operators in Haiti are women who risk their lives to travel all over the country to purchase crops and agricultural products to resell in major cities and open markets of Port-au-Prince, Cap-Haitien, or Les Cayes. They usually like funds to invest in these small enterprises.

We also see the needs to encourage farmers to save the topsoil by preventing erosion. They can also invest in other forms of raising livestock, especially after the loss caused by Hurricane Matthew. For example, raising poultry is less expensive than raising cattle. With poultry, they can make money with the sale of eggs and chickens or turkeys. If they want to raise goat and lamb, they can become profitable in a few years with the production of fresh milk and goat cheese.

To start with the poultry farming, the farmers may need initial funds to build a chicken coop or a the right fence for their goats. This is not something that is new to most Haitians. Before the destruction of native Haitian pigs, most farmers knew that they were their bank accounts for the education of their kids and for hard times. The imported pigs from the US did not do well with the tropical weather and lack of care they required.

At this time, we are working on rebuilding homes that were destroyed by the recent quake and hurricane. We buy the materials we need to rebuild as the funds are raised. We are a small group of ‘do-gooders’ who do not have a lot of funds. If you want to join us to get things done, contribute today right on Paypal.com

You can tell your friends and family members. Bagay piti, pa chich! (Haitian proverb) (Giving a small amount shows you are not stingy).

Here are the materials (metal sheets), we currently have for the rebuilding of this house whose rooftop was blown away by Hurricane Matthew. This family needs additional funds to purchase boards, woods, nails, chairs, bed etc.

With the meager funds we sent to this family, they were able to go downtown to purchase these metal sheets. These funds came from the founders of Haiti Result-oriented Relief. Help us help more needy families!
